30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 172

Estrella glanced at her hand, trying to slide off the ring, but it was too tight, impossible to

remove.

Jason, witnessing her struggle and recalling her words, called out, “Estrella.”

She ignored him, didn’t even look up, and instead wrenched at the ring with all her might, managing to budge it slightly. In the next second, blood started to ooze around the ring.

A sharp pain shot through Estrella’s heart, but without a hint of mercy, she yanked the ring off her finger. Blood dripped down her finger, the ring still ensnared a piece of her skin.

His gaze fell upon the ring, now surrounded by specks of blood on the floor. The jeweler had claimed the ring was irremovable, but Estrella had torn it off, flesh and all.

Gripping the steering wheel with both hands, blood from her left ring finger dripped continuously onto her pants and shoes.

In that moment, Estrella felt numb with pain, her body trembling, her grip on the whee
